Chapter 4: "But what if YOU don't remember..."

"Who is four?" asked Yeji.

Gaeul raised her hand. "Me and Dami!"

"Get some gifts!" said Yeji.

Gaeul and Soodam whispered to each other for a bit. Something Soodam said made Gaeul laugh out loud. Soodam was less enthused about what her partner wanted.

Gaeul walked over to Isa. "I would like the collar please. I want to put it on YOU myself."

Isa handed over the collar. "You are still dreaming. YOU would be a good puppy though."

Gaeul sat back down. Soodam got up "I'm going to pick something from the table."

Soodam was drawn to both shirt boxes. She shook them both. The one rattled a bit, the other did not. But then she saw the rectangular box just wrapped in paper bag paper. She remembered Sua's tricky box and grabbed it instead.

Bae passed Soodam a drink on her way back. She said, "thanks."

"Still waiting for the first one to kick in?" asked Bae.

Soodam shyly put her head down and nodded. She returned to her seat and tore the paper off of the box. She opened it, pushed aside the tissue paper and pulled out... "10 meters of pink nylon rope... I don't own a boat? Or anything else to tie with rope?"

Isa snickered at her, "You have a partner who is a bad puppy dog."

Gaeul blushed, but Soodam didn't really get it.

"Dami, do you want to guess who brought it?" asked Yeji.

"Can someone tell me how it fits into this party please?" asked Soodam.

Yeji grabbed her phone and pulled up a picture of someone with their feet and legs tied together with some pretty pink rope. She walked over to Soodam and showed her. Soodam turned three different shades of white and then red.

"Got it..." said Soodam. "Like when the kid ties up the baby sitter?"

Isa said, "Yes! Gaeul is your baby sitter. Consider it!"

Soodam waved her hands at Isa. Gaeul blushed again and giggled.

Soodam said, "Isa seems pretty excited and unsurprised about the rope. Did YOU bring it?"

"Nope!" said Isa.

"Thanks for not picking me," said Heejin...

Yeji said, "Okay Isa, you need to get a new gift!"

Bae passed her a drink. Sua intercepted it. "It's okay, I can handle it."

"Do you ever drink hon?" asked Isa.

"Well, no..."

"I'll take it, you can have the next."

Sua nodded.

Gaeul said, "Drunk mommy Isa not going to do a very good job taking care of her Sua."

Bae said, "What is up with you two? Sexual tension, or outright hate?"

Karina, Nana, and Miu said, "hate" at the same time Yeji, Heejin, and Yena said, "tension".

They had a giggle about their answers.

Isa went to the shirt boxes like Soodam did. She settled on the red paper with the polka dots and brought it back to her seat. She saw Gaeul squirming in her seat trying not to laugh. She ignored her. She carefully unwrapped the package, like an old lady savoring every fold with the clear intent of re-using the paper on a grandchild's present next year. Sua looked at Isa like she was the most amazing person on the planet. Everyone else just wanted her to tear the damn thing open.
